Table Reads: New Comedy Script Showcase
New comedy scripts. Top Fringe performers. One live audience.
Back for Year 3 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Table Reads is where brand new half-hour comedy scripts get put in front of a live audience before commissioners get anywhere near them. No sets. No safety net. Just great performers, a live audience, and a lot of fun.
